Chapter 408 The Death of Gongsun Zan Part [-] (Second Update + Third Update)
"Zhao Ling, you lead three hundred cavalry scouts. Immediately investigate the situation in a radius of Suanzao, keep an eye on the Yanjin defense line, and report immediately if there is any movement!"

"promise!"

"Kong Xu, immediately lead [-] soldiers from Qingzhou to go ten miles north of Suanzao, build fortifications, and stand in line. Without my order, you can't fight, you can only block it on the spot!"

"promise!"

"Tian Kai, you personally lead the Youzhou Army with [-] troops, line up with the left and right wings of the Qingzhou Army, and lead the formation for the Qingzhou Army!"

"promise!"

"..."

Gongsun Zan is a head coach. He has experienced great battles in Youzhou, fighting against alien races in the grassland, fighting against the Zhongshan rebels, and fighting against the Yellow Turban Army... After many battles, even if the news comes suddenly, his calmness on the battlefield still exists. .

The most important thing is that he still has [-] white horse righteous followers in his hands, relying on the action power of the white horse righteous followers, even a hundred thousand troops can't stop him, so even if he heard the news suddenly, he didn't worry, he was confident .

After he calmed down, he showed the calmness that a general should have, and began to quickly set up, ready to face the battle.

"My lord, there is no room for loss in Suanzao County. There is a large amount of food, grass and luggage stored in the city. If it is lost, we will be the sinners of this crusade against the shepherds. Why don't we notify the coalition army first!" Adviser Guan Jing persuaded.

Guan Jing is a literati in Youzhou, only in his early thirties. A few years ago, he was just a down-and-out scholar, but since he followed Gongsun Zan, he began to show his talent and learning, and he can be regarded as a well-known scholar in Youzhou.

"Ziyu, reporting to the coalition forces now doesn't mean telling them that a certain family is incompetent?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan's eyes were a little displeased, and he said, "Yanjin's fall is already a fact. If we can't defeat this group of soldiers and horses, if we want the coalition army to send troops back to help, what's the face of our Youzhou soldiers? Besides, Suanzao City, even if it is not a high-walled city, with our strength, even with an army of one hundred thousand, it will not be able to break through!"

He is very confident that he can keep the jujube.

Suanzao was guarded by [-] soldiers, of which [-] were Youzhou troops, but among the [-] Youzhou troops, Liu Bei took [-] soldiers and horses to attack Hanoi as a vanguard army, and Gongsun Zan still had [-] troops. Thousands of elite soldiers.

The other [-] soldiers and horses, of which [-] are the Qingzhou Army, led by Kong Xu, the son of the Kong family of the Qingzhou family and the captain of Qi County, and the other [-] are the soldiers and horses of the East County. completely annihilated.

The remaining [-] soldiers and horses were still the Guangling Army, led by Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling himself.

Youzhou has a strong army, and Qingzhou's soldiers are not weak. The Guangling army is also carefully selected young and strong. With the current strength of Suanzao, there are 4 soldiers and horses guarding Suanzao City. Unless an army of [-] comes, otherwise Gongsun Zan didn't think he could break through the Suanzao he personally guarded.

"No matter what, a certain family must personally defeat this invading enemy army, so as to save some face of our Youzhou army!"

Gongsun Zan said decisively.

The Youzhou Army could not lose face on the battlefield.

The fall of Yanjin was already due to his lack of vigilance. If the news is passed on now, how many people will laugh at their Youzhou Army.

"Then my lord, we must at least let brother Xuande lead his troops back. Yanjin has been breached, and the way back has been cut off. The five thousand soldiers led by brother Xuande will not be able to conquer Hanoi. It will undoubtedly wait for death for a long time. Now Returning back can also assist us in flanking back and forth to repel the incoming enemy troops!"

Guan Jing was very familiar with Gongsun Zan's temperament, he was a bit stubborn, and rarely changed his decisions, so he was no longer persistent, but took a step back to persuade him.

"That's fine!"

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he nodded, "You immediately send out scouts, travel eight hundred miles, enter Hanoi, and recall Brother Xuande's troops!"

"promise!"

Guan Jing nodded.

……

In the evening, ten miles outside Suanzao City, between the half-hillside and the official road, the two armies were fighting.

Gongsun Zan rode his horse and came, looking at the soldiers and horses facing him. The black mandala flag with the characters of Mu on it had already told him where the soldiers and horses were attacking Suanzao this time: "It really is the Jingping Army!"

After thinking about it, he also discussed with his adviser Guan Jing for more than an hour, and finally decided that the only ones who were most likely to go south to Suanzao were the Jingping Army in Hanoi.

It's just that he can't figure it out. Liu Bei's troops are suppressed in Hanoi, and the main force of Jingping's army is going south. He has no news at all.

Of course he didn't know that Jingping's army went south from Dangyin by detour to Baima, taking the east line and not taking the defense line of Hanoi's official road, so he was able to attack his unsuspecting Suanzao southward without being noticed.

"How's the situation?" Gongsun Zan asked after he walked up, glanced at Kong Xu, the chief general of the Qingzhou Army.

"After we lined up, they also stopped. They didn't intend to attack, but they didn't retreat either, so the confrontation is now formed!"

Kong Xu said.

"Have you checked the strength of the troops?"

"My lord, preliminary investigation shows that there are only about [-] soldiers and horses on the opposite side!" Zhao Ling is from Changshan. He has been under Gongsun Zan's command for two years.

"More than [-] soldiers and horses?"

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he frowned slightly: "Have you checked it out?"

More than 1 soldiers and horses dare to attack Suanzao. Who gave them the courage? You must know that even the elites of Youzhou still have as many as 1. The main force of the state is not something that more than [-] soldiers and horses can eat.

"My lord, judging by how they camped and buried pots, they will never exceed [-] soldiers!" Zhao Ling said firmly.

"Check again!"

"promise!"

Zhao Ling nodded and took the order to leave.

Gongsun Zan stepped forward slowly on his horse, staring at the enemy's camp not far away with his eyes like lightning, suddenly took a deep breath, strode over on his horse, and walked to about eighty steps away from the enemy's army formation, and then started to drink loudly: "Where is the picture of the shepherd dragon?"

Jing Pingjun, Mulongtu.

This is the name of the hook.

Since the First Battle of Hanoi, all the princes of the Kanto Alliance know these two names.

Jing Ping's army is here, so Mulongtu should also be here.

"Who is coming?"

The shields in front of the army formed a path, and Mu Jing rode out on a red mastiff pony, with indifferent eyes and a cold expression, as if asking a trivial question.

"He is Mulongtu, he is really young!"

Gongsun Zan's eyes flickered brightly, he looked at Mujing carefully after eighty steps, and then he cupped his hands and said, "A certain Gongsun Zan from western Liaoning!"

"General White Horse, Gongsun Bogui!"

The corners of Mujing's mouth slightly raised: "I've admired you for a long time!"

"Mulongtu, the world praises you as a young hero. Although you are young, your leadership skills are comparable to those of the former champions, but seeing you today, you are a big disappointment to a certain family. You are nothing more than a mere ten thousand soldiers. Breaking the Yanjin Ferry is just a coincidence , Now entering the hinterland of my Suanzao is suicidal, I think you are not as smart as a young man praised by the world, but you are a bit stupid!" After a few pleasantries, Gongsun Zan began to test Mujing's reality.

"A stupid person can only see the stupidity of others, but a smart person can only see the wisdom of others!"

Mu Jing said indifferently: "General Baima roams across the swallows, sweeps across the grasslands, and is a smart person, but the general may not see my intelligence. Within ten days, I will make the general bow down to my horse!"

"Yellow-mouthed child, rampant and rude!"

Gongsun Zan's eyes were red, and a hint of coldness burst out of his calm face.

"Then let's wait and see!"

Mu Jing turned around and entered the army formation behind, the thick shield once again covered the entire Jing Ping army, like an iron wall.

"Hehe, I'd like to see what tricks you, Mulongtu have, and you're so outspoken!"

Gongsun Zan let out a cold snort, and returned to the Ma Qingzhou Army.

"Captain Kong!"

"exist!"

Kong Xu waited quietly.

"Retreat for five miles, echoing the front and rear of the county seat, and don't fight alone!" Gongsun Zan said.

Mu Jing's self-confidence still made him cautious. The distance of ten miles was not good for the connection between the soldiers in the city and the frontline soldiers. If you retreat five miles, you can completely connect them.

……

At night, in the starry sky, there are many stars, and a round of bright moon shines.

Jing Ping's army set up camp on the spot, the camp was very simple, there were not many trees nearby, but there was a bamboo forest, they could only cut some bamboo from the nearest bamboo forest to build a temporary camp.

This camp has no defense, but it can barely allow the soldiers to rest.

In the main account.

Mujing paced back and forth, looking at the marching map under the light of the oil lamp, and said in a low voice: "I underestimated Gongsun Zan, this man reacted quickly, we crossed the river and went down into Suanzao, and within an hour, he actually asked the soldiers to push the horses away." They came to defend us ten miles away, completely making us lose the chance of sneak attack!"

This time I really answered a sentence, the idea is very happy, and the reality is very skinny.

Although crossing the river went smoothly, Gongsun Zan in Suanzao County was alarmed as soon as he entered Suanzao County. If it was based on the reaction of ordinary people, he would not be able to gather troops in an hour, but Gongsun Zan was Gongsun Zan after all, and their reaction was worse than ordinary people. be quick.

The most important thing is that he immediately pushed out a soldier and horse directly in front of him. This must not be a direct descendant of the Youzhou Army, but more likely it is cannon fodder. , Completely lost the chance of a surprise attack.

"My son, Gongsun Bogui is not an ordinary person who can become famous in Youzhou, a place where dragons and snakes mix together. Even in Bingzhou in the past, I have heard that the name of Baima Yicong!" Zhang Liao said with a wry smile: "This general He is definitely a veteran in the battlefield, it is very difficult to take advantage of him!"

"Then we can only face it head-on!"

Mu Jing said helplessly.

"But my son, our current strength is a bit weak compared to Suanzao's tens of thousands of troops. If we fight forcibly, we will suffer a lot!" said Mo Bao, the captain of the fourth battalion.

He said this implicitly.

It's not weak, but very weak. Although the Jingping army is a strong army, the Youzhou army has been fighting in the border areas for many years, fighting with nomads. The combat effectiveness will never be inferior to that of the Jingping army. The horses were all over them.

"Fighting head-on doesn't mean head-on!" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, his eyes sparkling, his thoughts began to turn, and he suddenly said: "Wen Yuan, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

"My son, since we are fighting head-on, we have only one way, delay!" Zhang Liao knew that Mu Jing was testing his own ability, and it was inevitable for Chen to rise to the top, so who would be next in Jingping's army, the biggest one? It might be him, even if he is not clear about his loyalty to Jing Ping, but this does not prevent him from feeling the importance he feels from Mu Jing.

He thought for a while, without any reservations, and said his thoughts directly: "In the afternoon, Shizi took the initiative to approach Gongsun Zan's temptation, and the self-confidence in his words must have made Gongsun Zan feel the danger. Gongsun Zan is a member who has experienced many battles. The more he is like this, the more cautious he is, so in the days to come, we must be more aggressive and take the initiative to attack, but Gongsun Zan can't figure it out!"

"What next?" Mu Jing asked.

"We have reinforcements. The key to this battle is that we have already overwhelmed the Huns cavalry, so what we have to do is to create a battlefield where the cavalry can cover all their attacks!"

The more serious Zhang Liaoyue said, he became deeply involved, and directly assumed the role of a coach: "Gongsun Zan has Baima Yicong under his command, this is his background. If we want to force him to pull Baima Yicong, we have to Give them the illusion that they can eat us, so it's appropriate to show weakness while dragging them along."

"Then which place do you think is the most suitable for the battlefield!"

"Northeast of Suanzao, twelve miles outskirts!"

Zhang Liao pointed to the topographic map: "The three official roads here meet again, but they can be strangled on three sides. This is still a spacious plain, suitable for cavalry to charge. As long as we automatically enter here, their cavalry will inevitably be drawn out. In addition, the northern official road can be let off." Hun cavalry, get ready, once covered, they can't escape!"

"Crack clap!!!"

Mujing clapped his palms and smiled appreciatively: "Okay, well said, he thought carefully before and after, and created a battlefield for our side, and also followed the opponent's mind. This is the thinking of a general, Wen Yuan, You are brilliant!"

As long as Zhang Liao grows up, his future is immeasurable, and it is not impossible to even surpass his historical achievements.

In history, Zhang Liao followed the wrong lord and did nothing for more than ten years. It was not until he met Cao Cao that he began to show his edge.

But now, he is enough to grow up ahead of schedule.

"The prince is too famous. It's just some ideas. Whether it can be implemented on the battlefield is still unknown. Moreover, there are too many variables on the battlefield. We can think of it, but they can guess it!"

Zhang Liao said modestly.

"If you don't try it, how will you know!" Mu Jing ordered: "Pass me Jingping's military order. From now on, the officers and men of Jingping's army will come down from Mujing. Those who are killed without mercy!"

"I can't do it!"

"Sir..."

All the generals in the camp spoke one after another, with some objections.

"Huh!" Mu Jing snorted coldly, and there was no sound at once. He was young, but his majesty in Jingping Camp was inviolable.

"My son, so..." Zhang Liao wanted to evade.

"Zhang Wenyuan, let me tell you a truth now. Modesty is a virtue, but in the military camp, there is never such a word as modesty. If you can do it, you will go up. If you can't, you will retreat. This is war, and ability is Life, if you want more people to live, you need a qualified coach!" Mu Jing stared at Zhang Liao like a torch, and asked coldly, "Tell me now, are you okay or not?"

"Row!"

Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and said.

In this situation, he dared to take half a step back, and he would never want to straighten his spine and be a man in this life.

"If you dare to say it, I dare to believe you!" Mu Jing said, "From now on, the Jingping Army will be dispatched by you, including me, and will obey your military orders!"

"The trust of the son, Liao dare not disappoint, if this battle cannot be won, Liao will come to see him!"

Zhang Liao issued a military order.

The military orders were issued, the Jingping Army's two main battalions, the third battalion lieutenant Xie Yu, and the fourth battalion lieutenant Mo Bao, had nothing to say at this moment and could only hold their noses to listen to Zhang Liao's military order.

Next, Zhang Liao began to assign tasks. In fact, he had deduced the specific tactics of this battle many times in his mind, so he said it so smoothly. Now that he has won the position of general, it is more legitimate to assign tasks: "Xie Yu obeys orders!"

"Here!" Xie Yu reluctantly.

"At midnight tonight, I order you to lead the third battalion to attack the enemy's camp below the city at night!" Zhang Liao didn't seem to need rehearsal to enter the role of chief general. You only have half an hour, regardless of the result, within half an hour, attack plus retreat, delay for a quarter of an hour, and you will be dealt with by military law!"

"Only my battalion attacked at night?" Xie Yu questioned. He very doubted whether Zhang Liao was avenging his private revenge and sent himself to the third battalion to die. You must know that in the army, he and Zhang Liao had some disagreements. There are the most soldiers in the military law department, and Zhang Liao is in charge of the military law department. There are a lot of knots.

"Correct!"

Zhang Liao said calmly.

Xie Yu looked at Zhang Liao, and looked at the indifferent Mujing next to him, as if he didn't care about everything. He fell into a dilemma, and in the end, his trust in Mujing overcame his doubts about Zhang Liao, and he accepted the order: "Obey!"

"Mo Bao, you lead your troops to respond!" Zhang Liao continued: "If the enemy dares to chase them out, you should snipe them!"

"promise!"

Mo Bao took orders very quickly, anyway, he was not the main attacker, so he didn't hurt the main force, since Mu Jing handed over the main flag to Zhang Liao, he could only hold his nose and obey the military orders.

……

The night became more and more intense.

"Tap Tap!!!"

Outside the Qingzhou military camp, footsteps sounded repeatedly.

"kill!"

Xie Yu gave an order, took the lead and rushed into the barracks.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Three thousand soldiers of the third battalion rushed in like a hurricane.

"You really dare to attack at night!" Kong Xu's battle armor was not removed, and he stood on the camp tower with a gun in his hand, looking at the entire battlefield, and ordered coldly: "Order the first battalion and the second battalion to attack!" !"

"Qingzhou Erlang, attack!"

"Qingzhou Erlang, attack!"

Among the tents, Qingzhou soldiers rushed out.

"Trap? Fortunately, it didn't go deep, my sons and daughters, the Dayuan Army Formation is close to the Yuanmen, and we will support it for half an hour!"

Xie Yu said with a long cry, since it was a mission, he took it as a mission, leaning against the gate, did not go deep into the camp, he could advance and retreat freely, as long as he supported for half an hour, he would withdraw his troops.

After half an hour, the third battalion left.

"Is it withdrawn?"

Kong Xu was a little surprised, it seemed like a farce.

"Master Captain, do you want to pursue?"

"No!"

Hearing this, Kong Xu shook his head. There were not many enemy troops coming in, and they didn't go deep. It seemed more like luring them to attack, so he said cautiously: "Beware of deceit, don't pursue them, every battalion is on guard, be careful that they kill you." A return carbine!"

"promise!"

The generals of the battalions of the Qingzhou Army handed over their orders.
